Articles in our last two issues discussed the first two steps of the Unit Service Plan process: (1) working with unit leadership to develop a collaborative assessment of unit strengths and needs and (2) developing a plan that focuses on a small number of goals that will improve the quality of the program the unit delivers to the youth it serves. The third step of the process, district commitment, engages additional resources to support the unit and finalizes the plan.
Our simple and unified approach to unit service is designed to enable commissioners to have greater focus on the specific needs of the units they serve and work more efficiently. The "annual service plan" that was used in the past included a list of tasks to be completed monthly by every commissioner for every unit, regardless of specific needs. It wasn't an efficient use of our commissioners' time and often didn't help unit leaders better serve youth. The Unit Service Plan, based on a collaborative assessment and including a small number of goals that address the unit's greatest needs, can have greater impact with less effort.
Unit commissioners are dedicated servant leaders. They accepted their commission because of their passion for helping others. Their skills enable them to assess unit strengths and needs, communicate clearly, and serve effectively as a team member, coach, and mentor. But although they often are experienced Scouters, they aren't experts in every aspect of unit operations.
Our district operating committees are—or should be—comprised of a variety of subject matter experts. That should be where Scouters experienced in camping, advancement, training, planning, budgeting, fundraising, membership development, district activities, and so on can be found. Like commissioners, district operating committee members are also committed to starting and sustaining successful units and are willing to share their expertise to help units better serve more youth through Scouting.
Unit commissioners are diagnosticians; they work with unit leaders to identify a unit's most pressing needs. Often, those needs can be addressed by unit leaders and committee members, and many of the goals included in the Unit Service Plan may be assigned to them. But sometimes other expertise is needed, and it often can be found in a district operating committee member. A member of the district finance committee, for example, may be able to help a unit that doesn't have an annual budget and lacks experience in developing one. A member of the district camping committee likely can assist a troop without backpacking experience that wants to build that into its annual program plan. District membership committee members may be able to help a pack or crew build a plan to recruit new members; and training committee members can help address unit leader training needs. Once the Unit Service Plan has been completed, the unit commissioner should link unit needs to district operating committee resources to ensure achievement of goals for which unit leaders don't have the necessary expertise.
Our simple and unified approach to unit service recognizes that unit leaders and unit commissioners can't address every unit need; our simple and unified approach to unit service recognizes that it takes a district to help units better serve more youth through Scouting. And that's why district commitment is an essential step of the Unit Service Plan process.
Tying this into our roundtable focus this month, district roundtables offer a venue to share ideas and district resources in the form of subject matter experts, helping the commissioner link the resources to the units. Many times a roundtable topic will help many units with a common need.

(almost) complete!
I'll meet with the boss lady tomorrow so she can edit it. Then I'll put in my answer key and be done with it.
Here's what I learned about writing curriculum:
a) I'd rather be teaching.
b) Writing curriculum sounds like a good idea at the time but in reality I jam 20 hours into 2 days (I had more than 2 weeks to complete this project).
c) I'd rather be teaching.
I know that part of teaching involves material development and curriculum writing, but I'd much rather be standing in front of a classroom. I have a lot of good ideas for curriculum scaffolding but I'd rather just tell people and then have them create it. This project wasn't too bad because it focused on functional/ situation English, not academic (like my last project). The binder is full of fun activities ESL students can do at camp.
And now I've signed up to teach the summer camp for the curriculum I just created!
(I have a hard time saying no!)
AAAAAAND I'm done that glass of wine in the time it took me to write this post.

Bourdache, p441, gives the address in 1908 as 42, rue de Maubeuge, Paris.
At least two examples exist, dated 1903 and 1904. They are of very different appearance, the 03 having a cylindrical tank and pedals, with the '04 having a narrow flat tank and sans pedales.
No mention of this marque in Tragatsch.
English translation for the word sommaire is synopsis, summary.

- Excel Book Excerpt
Excel What Is Protected Mode?
This page is an advertiser-supported excerpt of the book, Learn Excel 2007-2010 from MrExcel - 512 Excel Mysteries Solved. If you like this topic, please consider buying the entire e-book.
What Is Protected Mode?
Problem: Any time that I download a file from our file sharing site, it opens in Protected mode.
Strategy: I am sure that you regularly get files from other people in your company. They arrive via Outlook or you download them from an Internet site. I always worry that those people aren't smart enough to avoid getting viruses or that they actually hate me and would maliciously slip something bad into the workbook_open macro to cause problems with my computer.
In Excel 2003, if you opened a file with a macro, it stopped right away and made you choose whether to enable or disable macros. Have you ever thought about this question? How the heck should I know whether I should enable the macros when I haven't even had a chance to look around the worksheet (or examine the macro code, if you are comfortable with that)?
When you answered Enable Macros in Excel 2003, you were really taking a risk.
Now, any file that comes from a potentially dangerous location is open in the new Protected mode in Excel 2010. Here is the cool thing about Protected mode: You can look at the workbook. You can scroll through it or go to other worksheets. You can look at the macros. When you are convinced that the file is safe, you click a button and the workbook is available in regular mode.
This is brilliant. You get to actually look at the workbook, and while doing so it cannot harm your computer. You get to make an educated decision as to whether the workbook may prove harmful.
And, you know what? A lot of the time, you won't even have to leave Protected mode. You can look at the worksheet, see what you need to see, and close the workbook.
If you need to edit the workbook, use the button shown in here.
Figure 52 When you are convinced that the workbook is safe, enable editing.
Additional Details: The following is a list of files that will open in Protected Mode. Any file that did not originate on your computer can open in protected mode.
- ● Files that you download from the Internet
- ● Files in your temporary Internet folder
- ● Files that you open from Outlook
- ● Files that fail validation
If you want to adjust those settings, click the words in the information bar in Figure 52, and then choose Protected View Settings. You can turn off Protected mode for any of the situations shown here.
Figure 53 You can tweak which files open in Protected Mode.

The Bull and Bear Case for Disney (Twitter Edition)
"Brevity is the soul of wit" – Hamlet Act 2, scene 2, 86–92
Twitter forces you to succinctly summarize your investment thesis. So here is the Bull v Bear breakdown on Disney (DIS), Twitter edition.
Bear case on $DIS is 1. ESPN losing subs and ARPU pressure due to skinny bundles, NFL costs still high/fixed 2. valuation too high.
— dasan (@dasan) December 6, 2015
My bull case on $DIS: 1. volatile Studio division has about the best, most visible slate in years 2. ESPN dies VERY slowly
— dasan (@dasan) December 6, 2015
So the question on $DIS is only about valuation- 29x eps is "expensive" but I see a lot of near-term growth and incremental buyers
— dasan (@dasan) December 6, 2015
I guess ESPN dies over time but the Bread & Circuses don't disappear overnight. (FD: I don't watch football at all)

Termination of Employment (Employee/Employer)
Wrongful Termination Issues Affecting Frisco & Plano Employees, Employers
Texas follows the at-will employment doctrine, which means both the employee and employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time and without cause in most cases. However, Texas statutes apply a public policy exception and recognize contractual agreements that overcome the at-will status.
Albin Roach's North Texas employment lawyers defend the rights of workers against wrongful termination. We also represent businesses that have fired employees for just cause or had a legal right to fire an employee under the at-will doctrine.
Workers' Civil Rights
Federal and state statutes prohibit discrimination or harassment on the basis of an employee's protected class, including:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Gender
- Pregnancy
- National origin
- Age 40 or older
- Disability
- Genetic information
Discriminatory acts include decisions that affect employment, such as termination of an employee because of her or his membership in the protected class. In addition, companies are banned from retaliating against an employee who complains about discrimination or harassment or who files a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Texas Workforce Commission.
Public Policy Exceptions to Termination
Public policy exceptions protect you from unlawful termination regardless of your at-will employment status. Examples of when a public policy might bar termination include situations in which:
- Your employer fired you because you filed a workers' compensation complaint
- You refused to commit an illegal act
- You blew the whistle on your employer's illegal activities
- You filed a grievance alleging your coworker or supervisor sexually harassed you
- Your employer terminated you because you became pregnant
- You were discriminated against based of your membership in one of the protected classes
- Your employer fired you in violation of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Protections for Businesses Under Employment Contract
As an employer in an at-will state, you are typically entitled to cut your staff whenever necessary. The downside is that your workers can leave you on a moment's notice. This can be especially problematic if your business employs skilled labor or specialists that require substantial experience and extensive training. An employment contract allows you to recruit and maintain qualified workers. A well-drafted contract also protects you should your employee fail to meet expectations.
Our North Texas employment lawyers draft employment contracts that include language that clearly defines appropriate causes for termination – for example, the employee fell short of sales goals for X number of quarters or the employee acted in a manner that violated your company's expressed standards of conduct.
Should you need to fire an employee, we offer advice on remaining in compliance with your contract terms and help you collect and organize documentation that prove cause for termination.
Learn More About Wrongful Termination in an At-Will State
Albin Roach represents employees who have been wrongfully terminated and employers that are accused of violating public policy or contract. Call our North Texas employment lawyers at 214-423-5100 or contact us online for assistance with your case in Plano or Frisco.

Question about Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera
Posted by soozie82 on
hi, everytime i tunr my camera on, it says 'lens error' and the lense goes back in and i cant use it! any advice?
SOURCE: I have freestanding Series 8 dishwasher. Lately during the filling cycle water hammer is occurring. How can this be resolved
Hi there,

Posted on Jan 02, 2017
SOURCE: camera lense is stuck
there are tiny plastic gears inside and may have chipped causing the lens to jamb. "very fragile"
one solution is to ask a camera repair shop how much a lens mechanism would be to replace. (if cost is more than 1/2 of what you paid dont bother)
another solution is to have someone sell your camera on an auction site for parts, to make some money towards another camera purchase.

You can send this to manufacture and they will repair it for $50.
Unless you get lucky enough to find parts on ebay, let me know.
Posted on Aug 28, 2009
SOURCE: when I turn on the camera, Lens error shows up on
Try jiggling the lens. Use compressed air to blow out any grit around the lens barrel. If that doesn't do it, you'll need to get the camera serviced.

Hydrological Influences on Carbon Balance in Subarctic Catchments
Arctic and subarctic regions are predicted to experience a more rapid temperature increase than the global average, and large amounts of carbon in the soil will then be released back to the atmosphere when the soil thaws. With this predicted warming future, the emissions of greenhouse gases, especially methane, from the northern latitudes could contribute significantly to increased global climate change. Hydrological conditions play crucial roles by affecting ecosystem functioning, influencing vegetation distributions as well as soil biogeochemical processes. In this project, we aim to quantify hydrological impacts on the carbon balance (sinks/sources) at catchment level for observational periods, and further predict the changed hydrological conditions and their consequences on ecosystem functioning in a warming future. The study area is located in northern Sweden, north of the Arctic Circle. To accomplish this aim of the project we have chosen a widely-used dynamic ecosystem model, LPJ-GUESS, as the platform to investigate soil-water-plant interactions. Moreover, a newly-developed water flow algorithm is integrated to enhance water flow simulations. The project has been conducted extensively among hydrological and ecosystem modelling groups at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Sciences as well as the GIS Centre. Comprehensive hydrological and carbon measurements in the field also enable thorough evaluations of the modelled outcomes in this project.

How Search Works
Any time you search for something online, you are presented with a list of (mostly) relevant results from all over the web. Somehow, search engines are able find the web pages that match your specific queries. How do they do this?! And – more importantly – how can optimizing for search engines still play a role in helping your business get found? In the simplest terms, you can think of searching the web as looking in a very large book with a very, very impressive index. This index tells you exactly where everything is located. When you perform a search, programs check against the index to determine the most relevant search results, as well as the order (or "rank") in which they will appear and be returned to you.
What Is SEO?
The Changing Face of SEO
How Everyone Used to Think About SEO
The Problems with "Old SEO"
- Treated like a game.
- All about quantity, not quality.
- Focused on search engines, not searchers.
- Full of "cookie cutter."
Learning from the Past
How SEO is today
According to Google, SEO is "about making small [meaningful] modifications to parts of your website. When viewed individually, these changes might seem like incremental improvements, but when combined with other optimizations, they could have a noticeable impact on your site's user experience and performance in organic search results … [where] your ultimate consumers are your users, not search engines. In short, you need to understand not only the web, but also your visitors and what your visitors want – and get – out of your website.
- Develop more unique, in-depth content
- Truly understand what "quality" means
- Truly understand your buyer personas
- Don't add content for the sake of having more content
- Never add pages without having direct access to them
- Rethink what "link-building" means
- Rethink what "keywords" mean
- Test your pages in different browsers before publishing
- Make sure your site is technically optimized (if using a traditional CMS)
- Have a Google+ personal profile that's tied to your content
The Key to SEO: Meaningful Content
How Your Website Helps (or Hurts) SEO
- Websites need additional coding to optimize for mobile. Many websites today require special templates or additional coding to optimize for mobile. When a mobile searcher arrives on a site that isn't mobile-friendly, you can bet they'll have a less-than-stellar experience.
- A website's CMS is isolated. A content management system (CMS) often stands alone from the rest of your site's architecture, creating a fragmented experience for your visitors.
- Websites offer the same static experience to everyone. 76% of website visitors want a site that "makes it easy for me to find what I want." And yet, most websites show the same thing to every person who visits.
- Some websites are slow to load. The speed and performance of your website will vary depending on what CMS you use.
- Many websites haven't caught up with recent search engine changes. Social media and mobile have more influence on SEO than ever before. Despite this fact, most CMS tools have yet to incorporate these elements out-of-the-box.
So, What Do You Need?
Where Do Keywords Fit In?
Keyword Research for SEO Marketers
- Understanding "transactional" vs. "informational" keywords.
- Use alternative tools like www.similarsites.com or marketing.grader.com for competitor research.
- Google's keyword tool is now "Keyword Planner".
- Use AdWords auction insights.
- Look at data from Webmaster tools.
Loss of Data Needn't Mean Loss of Direction
How to Rock at SEO Today: 10 Tips
- Develop more unique, in-depth content
- Truly understand what "quality" means
- Truly understand your buyer personas
- Don't add content for the sake of having more content
- Never add pages without having direct access to them
- Rethink what "link-building" means
- Rethink what "keywords" mean
- Test your pages in different browsers before publishing
- Make sure your site is technically optimized (if using a traditional CMS)
- Have a Google+ personal profile that's tied to your content
What's the Future of SEO…
If You're Useful, They Will Come (and Stay)
Create for Humans, Not Search Engines
To Summarize, Here's What Will Help:
- Providing unique experiences throughout your website to better engage users
- Surfacing unique content readily and easily
- Creating content that provides context and personalization
- Establishing a strategy that focuses on quality, in-depth, and unique content
- Understanding your business's buyer personas
- Having clearly defined business goals (other than ranking)
- Covering basic SEO to improve your site's visibility in search results

Basketball team building games for kids
Basketball is a complex game that requires a variety of fundamental skills.
During a basketball game, players continuously transition from offense to defense.
As a result, kids who want to have success on the court and see a lot of playing time need to become all-around players by developing their skills on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
Physical fitness is an important of the game as players get older, so it's important to include some strength and conditioning drills as well. I've seen many players at the middle school, high school, and collegiate level whose game is negatively affected by poor conditioning. For one thing, you can't concentrate on doing the little things right when you're struggling for breath or your muscles are cramping up. Also, if your body can't effectively deliver the oxygen your working muscles need, it's impossible to perform skills at your highest level.
And since basketball is also a game of quick starts, stops, and changes in direction, players need some good speed and footwork drills.
The following drills are perfect if you're working out on your own, with a partner, or in a team setting.

Finally! An electrician who claims to be available 24/7 and actually is! Power went out one night, no clue why, and EMF came by that very same night and voila! all fixed! Thank goodness for EMF
Showed up ON TIME which is so rare for house calls nowadays. I needed to have an inspection done and a friend recommended EMF so I called and was scheduled the next day – already i liked them. Talk about customer service! They came and did what seemed like an incredibly thorough inspection and charged a fairly reasonable price. Overall very satisfied with EMF, will def be calling them again in the future.
Great service! Glad I called, I blew out a fuse at home and EMF came the next day and took care of it. Really friendly, easy to work with and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks guys!

Adafruit USB Sound Adapter for the Raspberry Pi
Κατασκευαστής: Adafruit
Διαθεσιμότητα : Σε stock 2 Προϊόν(ντα)
Κωδικός προϊόντος : ADA-1475
Βάρος και διαστάσεις προϊόντος
Product Weight : 0.05

USB Sound Adapter for the Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi has an on-board audio jack, which is super handy for all kinds of sound effects and speech, just plug and go! However, for when you want better audio for music playback, a USB audio card can greatly improve the sound quality and volume. That's because the on-board audio is generated by a PWM output and is minimally filtered. Don't get us wrong, it's a great thing to have audio on board but this USB audio card will make it even better!
We like this particular dongle for not being too bulky, you can plug it in without blocking the secondary USB port. It also works great, takes only a minute to configure and test it on your Pi.
At this time we have a tutorial for setting it up for audio output, we don't recommend it if you need Mic input.
This device also works great with Windows machines and should also function for Macs, but we are carrying it specifically for Pi usage.

Pick A Boxing Gym
Some health clubs have fitness or aerobic boxing classes, which focus only on the workout itself. No sparring is involved. If you only want to hit the bags and the punch mitts, these classes are perfect. If you do want to compete at some point, talk to the trainers to see if they do prepare people for that. If not, seek out another gym.
Take into account the atmosphere of the health club. Some are glorified social clubs, while others cater to a certain crowd, like bodybuilders, for example. The culture of the club may have a bearing on how you may like or not like training there.
Traditional Boxing Gyms
A buddy of mine attends a gym where mostly professional boxers train. He described the boxing training atmosphere as being intense and no-nonsense. The fighters are hungry, and they want to win championships.
These types of gyms are usually privately owned. Some have a mix of amateur and professional boxers among their members. I have heard of a few gyms that are strictly for professional fighters only. Be prepared to work when arriving at the door of a traditional boxing gym. The trainers will expect that everybody who comes there will work hard on their training. They're not going to waste time on anyone who won't.
Prices vary. Unlike health clubs, some boxing gyms do not require people to be locked into long term contracts.
Participants can pay their membership dues on a monthly basis. On average, monthly fees can be as low as $50.00 all the way up to a couple of hundreds a month. Those who know they'll be going less often can pay a day fee, which may range between ten to twenty-five bucks each time. Paying a day fee is also a good way of checking out a gym before committing to boxing training there.
Personal training as well as group classes can be had at traditional boxing gyms, but keep in mind that separate fees are involved.
Some of the older gyms haven't gotten around to making their places welcoming to women, unfortunately. Don't be surprised to find there's no designated women's washroom or locker room in older gyms. If you can overlook having to use a converted custodian's supply room in order to change into your workout clothes, more power to you. Maybe if you push enough, management will make the changes.
Municipal Park District Boxing Gyms
If you live in or near a big city, boxing training via the park district may work for you. The fees to work out are much less than going to a health club or to a private gym. Another plus is that these types of boxing gyms often can be found closer to your neighborhood.
Their biggest asset, being open for all, can also be a park district's boxing gym's major drawback as well. All kinds of characters are drawn to boxing gyms. Private health clubs and traditional boxing gyms can put barriers up to keep some problem personalities out. Those who train at park district gyms may have to grin and bear some difficult people. It's a great idea to talk to the coach before signing up to get a feel for how those types of gyms operate.
Boxers in these types of boxing gyms often participate in local competitions, and some park districts do hold boxing shows throughout the year. If you find an adults-only boxing class through the park district, great! But keep in mind that the park district's main focus is being family-friendly and providing recreation for youths. Many of their boxing programs may be for all ages, in the same gym, at the same time. If it's not going to be a problem to train alongside grade and high school kids, then go for it. Being around people who are at different levels in terms of boxing skills is a good thing. Everyone can learn from each other.

I love Chile because in my opinion is the best country to visit for a vacation. Chileans are very lucky to have such a beuatiful nature - on the east side are the magnificent Andes and on the west side - Chilean Costal Range.
I love Chile because of its rich and delicious food. Chileans have suprisingly diversed food. I thought that I might not like the local cuisine but it turns out I loved it! Also, anything you like can be found at the stores and restaurants. Variations of Spanish food such as sopaipillas and empanadas are also available to try and are even healthier than the Spanish versions.

What is the Highway 108 FireSafe Council?
The Highway 108 FireSafe Council, Inc., located in Tuolumne County and operated entirely by volunteers, is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization incorporated on December 24, 2002 and composed of individuals, public and private businesses, and governmental agencies that share a common vested interest in preventing and reducing loss from wildfires.
Tax deducible donations can be made to the Highway 108 FireSafe Council to further fire safety in Tuolumne County. (EIN # 74-3072909)
The Highway 108 Fire Safe Council is a member of the California State FireSafe Council.
Mission of the Highway 108 FireSafe Council.
To educate the public so as to significantly increase public awareness about fire risk and ways that property owners can reduce that risk.
To develop creative ways to make compliance with firesafe regulations easier and more effective for property owners.
To reduce this risk through fire prevention, fire safety, fuel reductions, and community preparedness.
To build community support for gaining additional funding, programs, and equipment in order to meet suppression and prevention needs in Tuolumne county.
Why does Tuolumne County need a FireSafe Council?
All of the communities in Tuolumne County are in danger of wildland fires. Terrain, vegetation, weather and accessibility conditions in the county create the potential for catastrophic wildland fires.
The Stanislaus Complex fire of 1987 threatened all of the communities from Tuolumne City to Pinecrest.
There are many fire-prone areas in Tuolumne County which are at risk of wildfires because they have large accumulations of natural fuels.
We all enjoy living with the beauty of the wildland around Tuolumne County – but it is also prone to wildfire. In fact, it's not a matter of if it will burn, but when that will happen!
The Highway 108 FireSafe Council wants to empower individuals and communities to make our homes and neighborhoods "FireSafe."

BERLIN (Reuters) - Greek demands for billions of euros in reparations for the brutal Nazi occupation in World War Two may be falling on deaf ears in the German government, but some legal experts say Athens has grounds for a case.
The emotive issue is bound to come up when Alexis Tsipras visits Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin for the first time as prime minister on Monday, in an atmosphere poisoned by charges of broken promises and personal jibes between their ministers.
The Greek leftist leader and his ministers have invoked Nazi war crimes as part of their drive to renegotiate the terms of Athens' 240 billion euro bailout with their euro zone partners.
Hundreds of villages were razed and more than 20,000 civilians killed in 1941-44 by German soldiers bent on crushing Greek resistance. Resentment runs deep and demands range from 3.5 billion euros to 162 billion euros.
Compounding the pressure on Merkel to make at least a symbolic gesture, some German lawmakers have said Berlin has a moral duty to consider reparations.
Yet there is scant sign that the government, fearing it could open the floodgates to future claims, will budge.
"There's no (justified) claim. The Greeks should do their (economic) homework and not seek culprits elsewhere," said Volker Kauder, parliamentary leader of Merkel's conservatives.
Germany has paid about 72 billion euros in overall compensation for Nazi wrongs since the war and is widely seen as having tried to make amends for its Nazi past, a legacy that still shapes its diplomacy, from Israel to the European Union.
Central to Germany's argument is that a 115 million deutsche mark payment to Greece in 1960 rules out individual claims. Similar deals were made with other European states.
Courts have supported this. In 2012, the International Court in the Hague ruled that Nazi victims in Italy could not sue Germany for compensation as the states had settled.
But some lawyers say the issue is not clear-cut, partly because after its unconditional surrender in 1945 Germany never agreed a universal peace deal to clear up reparations questions.
The nearest thing to it, says Berlin, is the "Two plus Four Treaty" signed by then-East Germany and West Germany and the four wartime allies before German reunification in 1990.
In this, Russia, the United States, Britain and France renounced future claims. Berlin says this also settles the issue for other states, including Greece, who raised no objections.
Yet some lawyers say Greece has not renounced its claims.
"The German government's argument is thin and contestable," said international law specialist Andreas Fischer-Lescano. "It's not permissible to agree a treaty at the expense of a third party, in this case Greece."
Several other experts agree.
"There is a lot of room for interpretation," said Anestis Nessou, a Greek lawyer who works in Germany and has studied the issue. "Greece was not asked, so the claims have not gone away."
A separate question is that of a 476 million reichsmark occupation loan forced on the Bank of Greece in 1942 which the Nazis used to fund their military campaign in northern Africa.
While Germany says its reparations payments cover this, some experts see it as a financial transaction in its own right.
"The view of the German government is embarrassing," historian Hagen Fleischer told Germany's ARD television. "The Nazi regime even calculated how high the repayments should be on the loan."
Fischer-Lescano said Greece could take their case on the loan to an international court.
Even if the government is legally in the right, some German politicians say it should make a conciliatory gesture.
"Merkel should send a signal and make available financial help for victims who are still alive," Greens lawmaker Renate Kuenast told Spiegel Online.

Pakistani fusion: a little confusing? Think Indian, but further northwest. There you go. Now, go try Masala Grill and Teahouse.
We went last night… heck, we've been meaning to go for a while but every time we'd tried to get our act together and head that way something would happen. This time, we were in luck… and not just with our timing.
First things first, chai. Our waiter took our order as we strapped Hunter into a highchair and grabbed a menu. What was delivered a few minutes later wasn't the traditional masala chai offered on the menu but Karachi Chai. Our waiter let us know the staff had brewed some up in the back, and he'd bring us Masala Chai on the refill. I was really pleased by this happy mistake. The Karachi Chai is a more mature flavor, with savory and friendly notes that exude comfort. Teas are a focus at the place, and they run $2.50 (except black tea, which is $1.50). And yes, milk is an option in your tea. Yay!
I could brag on tea all day, but you want to know about the food. And what I think you'll find is that the menu's really reasonably priced, especially for a high-class ethnic fusion restaurant like this.
We were expecting to splurge a little. After all, you tend to pay a bit more for Subcontinent Fare as it is. So we ordered up a Layered Home Made Paratha ($2.99) and an order of Mini Kebab Rolls ($3.50). While we waited we munched on papadum and a sweet plum sauce. The sauce was a lot sweeter and spicier than we've had at Indian restaurants in the area. The papads are cumin-flavored, a favorite of mine. All very good.
I was quite pleased with both of our appetizer offerings. The Paratha was very buttery and warm, with all the comfort hot fresh bread brings. It was served up with a creamy cilantro chutney that had a smack of minty heat at the end. Well, either it was or the rolls were -- it all came out at once. The Mini Kebab Rolls were nice little appetizers, spice-ful but not spicy chapli-style kebab pieces wrapped in dough and fried. Hunter liked these the best out of our meal, and ended up commandeering most of the order from us.
The hubster went for a Seekh Kebab Roll ($6.49), a massive piece of naan stuffed with chunks of seasoned beef cooked with a generous amount of onion, turmeric and other spices. It had a strong savory flavor with a gracious amount of heat to it. The sheer size of it -- nearly 10 inches long and quite wide -- made it a very filling entrée.
I chose the Chicken Qorma ($7.99), expecting something similar to an Indian Chicken Korma. And there are similarities. The chicken itself is diced similarly and many of the spices are identical. But while a Korma tends to be creamy and nutty, this Qorma was brothy and spicy, with flavor that had soaked well into the chicken. It was really flavorful but at the same time a little too spicy for me to give to my daughter (though she probably would have loved that, too, had I been able to wrestle any of the Kebab Rolls she'd acquired from her possession). The rice tempered it to an acceptable hot for me. Its fragrant notes of clove and turmeric were a real turn-on even before I tried the chicken.
Our next round of tea arrived, and I found the Masala Chai to be strong with the flavor of good tea and cardamom, with distinct anise notes (my tongue felt just a tiny bit numb). It also came a little sweeter in my estimation.
We knew we were going to have Kheer ($3.49), it was just a given. Kheer makes the world a better place, and even though I've had it a dozen different ways I still feel that way about the milky rice pudding. My husband decided he'd order it, allowing me to try something else. Instead of the cashew nut that comes in the kheer at our local Indian restaurants (both of them), the nut of choice in this version is pistachio, giving the concoction a fruity flavor that's separate from the raisins within. I think I also tasted almonds in it.
I had to try the Ras Malai ($2.99), a dessert made from cottage cheese and sweetened milk served with pistachios. I'd been warned that this was the popular dessert on the menu and I see why. The preparation firms up the cottage cheese into its own sort of paneer, with that great cheesy texture. It's lightly sweet all the way through, but the nuttiness of the pistachio takes it a bit further. It's both light and substantial at the same time, and a real treat. Bonus -- it also kills whatever heat is left over from the other items in the dinner. I'll be ordering it again.
We'd expected to go in and pay $40 or more for dinner, but our check came in under $34. The prices are pretty reasonable and while the portion size of some items may not equal that offered at local Indian restaurants, you are definitely getting a different experience. It's subtle on the American scale. Think of it as you might think of the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese restaurants. If both register in your mind as Chinese, then Masala is going to fit right into your lexicon with the Indian restaurants in town. For the more cultured tongue, it's going to come across as delightfully different. I'm so glad I fit into that latter group.
You'll find Masala Grill and Teahouse off Rodney Parham at Reservoir in that same shopping center as Drug Emporium. They do a lunch buffet from 11:30 to 2:30 that I'm planning to go back for. And they're open 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday for evening diners. But don't go Monday. They're closed then. The restaurant has a Facebook page, or you can call (501) 414-0643.

Everyone is thrilled to hear that the X Factor is supporting our boys and girls, Help For Heroes founder Bryn Parry said on October 3.
We hope that Sun readers will do their bit to make this a hit single and demonstrate that we really care, he added.
The Sun has been behind Help For Heroes since its launch a year ago this week. It has so far raised 12million pounds to help rehabilitate injured troops. (ANI)

For more than 50 years, our parent company OFD Foods, has been working to develop the best practices for preparing and preserving food so it has a long shelf life and great taste. Simply stated, we are the recognized leader in storage and emergency preparedness food.
Easy Meal Food Service makes bulk emergency food preparation and storage simple. From power outages to severe storms, our disaster food solution ensures your organization is prepared to tackle any situation.
History of Easy Meal
Easy Meal first launched in 1977 as a service for the elderly and homebound. Since its inception, the label has gone through several changes to meet changing market demands. In 2013, Easy Meal made its way into the residential health care market, which we still cater to today with easy-to-prepare entrees, sides, and beverages.
Put to the Test
For over four decades we have been meeting the evolving nutritional needs of people living in the harshest conditions. In 1966 we began collaborating with the U.S. military to create the next generation of rations. These new rations had enough calories for active soldiers, were lightweight, better tasting, less heat-sensitive and more versatile. Over the years improvements have been made to create the longest lasting, shelf stable products available for all branches of the military.
Bringing the Best Together
These technological innovations have been applied to a host of commercial products including our signature brand, Mountain House. It is the number one brand of backpacking food in the world, used by backpackers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts for over 45 years. The brand is also a leader for long-term storage and emergency preparedness. Mountain House's success stems from the fact that it tastes great, is lightweight, compact and easy to prepare. It also has an outstandingly long shelf life.
Now, all these advancements are available in Easy Meal. Perfect for large-scale food preparation and storage, Easy Meal is a great solution for institutions that are required to have an emergency food plan such as hospitals, nursing homes, utility companies and similar facilities. Check out our video that explains more.
Easy Meal: Community Emergency Food Plans
"I am in the Army, deployed to Afghanistan. I missed chow tonight and decided to try a Mountain House meal that my sister sent. I was a little skeptical, but man, it was so good. It was like having a home cooked meal in my tent and all I did was add water. You have no idea how much that means to a deployed soldier, far from home on a cold winter night. Thanks!"
